God Is Our Refuge and Strength
(2 Kings 18:13–16; 2 Chronicles 32:1–8)

1In oure troubles and aduersite, we haue founde, that God is oure refuge, oure strength and helpe.

2Therfore wil we not feare, though the earth fell, and though the hilles were caried in to the myddest of the see.

3Though the waters of the see raged & were neuer so troublous, & though the mountaynes shoke at the tepest of the same.

4Sela. For there is a floude, which wt his ryuers reioyseth ye cite of God, the holy dwellynge of the most hyest.

5God is in ye myddest of her, therfore shall she not be remoued: for God helpeth her, & yt right early.

6The Heithen are madd, the kyngdomes make moch adoo: but whe he sheweth his voyce, ye earth melteth awaye.

7The LORDE of hoostes is wt vs, the God of Iacob is oure defence.

8Sela. O come hither, & beholde ye workes of the LORDE, what destruccios he hath brought vpo ye earth.

9He hath made warres to ceasse in all the worlde: he hath broken the bowe, he hath knapped the speare in sonder, & bret the charettes in the fyre.

10Be still the & confesse yt I am God: I wil be exalted amonge the Heithe, & I wil be exalted vpon earth.

11The LORDE of hoostes is wt vs, the God of Iacob is oure defence. Sela.
